How plants make friends with fungi

2016-10-19 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] Many fungi damage or even kill plants. But there are also plant-friendly fungi: Most land plants live in close community with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AM fungi) that stimulate their growth. Researchers of the “Molecular Phytopathology” Group of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) study the development of this symbiosis. The scientists have now identified a gene that is specifically activated by AM fungi and influences the development of the plant root: The GRA…

Fungi -- a promising source of chemical diversity

2016-05-27 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus produces a group of previously unknown natural products. With reference to plant isoquinoline alkaloids, these substances have been named fumisoquins. Researchers from Jena (Germany) discovered the novel substances together with their American colleagues while studying the fungal genome. The family of isoquinoline alkaloids contains many pharmacologically active molecules. This study, which has just been published in Nature Chemical…

NASA Maps Miles Of Fungi Networks To Predict Which Forests Will Survive Climate Change

2016-04-02 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Inquisitr: There is an entire world beneath the soil, an intricate network of fungi that stretch for miles in immense communities. In a forest, this fungi plays a critical role in the ecosystem and may help scientists map the effect climate change has on the Earth`s precious trees. The underground forest of fungi can be mapped from space, and NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has gotten involved in an exhaustive attempt to map these huge fungal networks using satellites, United Press International reported....
